Florida lawmakers plan special session on Ian, insurance

As much of the Sunshine State recovers from Hurricane Ian, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says he will call a special session of the Legislature to consider proposals for tax relief for owners of property damaged by the storm.

That special session will likely be in December, according to Rep. Webster Barnaby. As well as offering tax relief for the victims of the hurricane, the lawmakers may also deal with Florida's property-insurance crisis.

Some insurers have become insolvent following natural disasters, while others have left the state.
